just sitting around here GRUESOMELY now

Friederike Mayröcker

Poetic, ingenious prose in playful sentences, some only begun. A stream of thought and an intoxication of the senses. The narrator jumps back and forth like a bouncy ball, doesn't care about orthographic conventions and thus clearly turns language into art.
